Rose Quartz Nails

Wednesday, 11 October 2017

Today I have my second attempt at rose quartz nails to show you.

I first tried this technique in July using gel polish (see the manicure here) and now I decided to try it with regular polish. I had hoped it would be easier this way but I don't think it made much of a difference. The idea is simple, a coat of a pink/pale jelly (I used Essie Ballet Slipper) and add some irregular white lines to it (I used acrylic paint diluted in water) and repeat a few times. I struggled to get enough depth in there and should probably have picked something with more pink than Ballet Slipper but otherwise think it worked out alright. Just wished my sparkly Swarovski crystal would've photographed better! They look so dead on camera.

This is a sort of gentle introduction to the coming United in Pink initiative hosted by Lacky Corner. Next week I will only showcase pink manicure, as we are in the middle of the breast cancer awareness month. Read more here.
